I, as well as most people, "rubberneck" when approaching an accident because it is something interesting or maybe even terrifying. We all hope that it is not someone we know. Also my boyfriend is also a deputy with the Sheriff's Department, and I always look for him, and wonder whether he is okay.
Accidents are something that interest anyone, everyone has a weird desire to see what is happening, even if it is something as simple as a fender bender, people want to know what is going on.
Being a normal human being, curiosity is a major factor in why I 'rubberneck." I also have always been interested in the medical field so I always hope I can see something new the paramedics may be doing.

I rubberneck at accidents because I am an emergency services professional and if I am the first one on the scene of an accident, I am required by national law and the patient code of ethics to stop and ensure everyone is safe, until the emergency services that are arriving come on scene and take it over from me.

The reason I "rubberneck" when approaching an accident is because I do generally want to know what happened and if someone was hurt. Because something I have done since I was a child was pray for people in accidents that I saw on the road.
I often find myself "rubbernecking" when approaching an accident because it is my natural reaction to be sympathetic and prepare myself for whatever is ahead and if it is necessary for me to respond to the situation.
I often "rubberneck" when approaching accidents because I am curious as to if I know the individuals involved or if there is a way in which I can help. I suppose I am also just curious as to what happened in the accident (ie who's car hit who etc)
For me personally I "rubberneck" when appraoching an accident to just see what has happened. I am a very curious person and when coming upon accidents I like see how many cars were involved and how bad the accident was.
I ‘rubberneck’ accidents because I am very curious to see what happened, how bad the accident appears to be, as well as to see if the people are ok or up and walking. I think that it is completely normal to have the urge to ‘rubberneck.’ When it comes to accidents I think most people would be curious to see what happened or what is happening.
I "rubberneck" when approaching an accident because accidents are something that doesn't happen everyday. It is interesting and people want to know what is going on.
I am personally fascinated by accidents. Does it look like a legitimate accident or was this done out of stupidity? I "rubberneck" to provide myself with answers. We as people want to know whats going on and I am fascinated at what I see.
I "rubberneck" when approaching accidents out of concern and curiousity of what happened. I think that it is just apart of human nature to concerned when they see something that is out of the norm.
I "rubberneck" when I approach accidents out of curiosity and concern. If is a recent accident I want to know if I can help. Most humans are curious and I feel I fit into that mold.
Sometimes I rubberneck when approaching a wreck because I am curious to see what is going on. it is definitely nosey and I shouldn't rubberneck like I do, but curiosity always gets the best of me! Nichole Lusby
I "rubberneck" when approaching an accident, because when something out of the ordinary happens, it piques my interest. Curiosity gets the best of me, and I like to be in the loop of what is going on.
I tend to "rubberneck" when approaching accidents because I am always curious and highly interested in accidents. I am also interested in police work, or any thing that deals with the oddities of humans.
We "rubberneck" because we are all curious of what happened. Whether it was a wreck or if someone got pulled over. We always look because we usually think we might know the person, but we really don't. When there's a wreck we usually make sure that it wasn't someone we knew, or we look to see how bad and frightening it is.
I don't always rubberneck because i have seen additional accident occur due to not paying attention to where they were going. But if I do rubberneck, it is because I am curious or worried that a car I see looks like someone I know.
I'm curious about the accident and as a human I believe it's instinct to explore your environment. When something out of the normal changes in your environment you want to explore it.
When I approach a wreck I want to know what happened. I would get out of my car and help if they would let me. As being a nursing student it is interesting to know what is wrong with people and the stories of how they got to the place where they are at. I also "rubberneck" when approaching accidents to make sure I do not know the people involved.
I want to go into the nursing field and I am always interested in anything medical. I am also a little nosy to see just how bad the wreck actually was.

I like to see how much damage has been done and I am very curious to know about whatever injuries were sustained.
I tend to "rubberneck" when approaching accidents because I am always curious and highly interested in accidents. I am also interested in police work, or any thing that deals with the oddities of humans.
I am a curious person and want to see how damaged the cars are and try and figure out what happened.
I'm very investigative and find those scenes very interesting.

Because I'm nosy.
I am always curious about what is happening around me; so, when I see something that interests me, I want to see what is going on.

Unfortunately I have caught myself "rubbernecking" a few times. Most of the time I just want to see what happened that is causing such a scene.
Honestly curiosity gets the best of me.
